What our exhibitors are saying

“For those eager to see the newest trends in office design, NeoCon is definitely the place to visit. Making our entrance into the American market, we couldn't pass up the chance to unveil our groundbreaking products at this time and place. We're especially thrilled that OmniRoom, our brand new flexible office system, received such enthusiastic feedback and recognition both from the visitors and the awards jury members.” - Szymon Rychlik, Founder and Managing Director of Mute

“LifeSpan did great business at NeoCon this year. We were honored to mark our return to the show with a HiP Award from Interior Design in the Health & Wellness category for our Ampera Office Bike. Wellness was an overarching theme, and we kept attendees physically and mentally charged all week! The power generating office bike we premiered at the show was right at home in the energy of the industry coming back together, with a fresh focus on creating healthier, more active ways to work." - Jackie Wu, CEO, LifeSpan

“NeoCon 2023 was our best show yet, with great traffic, quality of attendees and an elevated energy level around THE MART. It’s the perfect place to connect with customers and partners. We’re already looking forward to NeoCon 2024!" - Angus Blaiklock, Executive Director Baresque (Zintra and Func)

What our attendees are saying

"NeoCon 2023 featured some of the most innovative products and brightest minds in our industry. The vibrancy, engagement, and sense of camaraderie were palpable, and I'm already looking forward to next year." - Lily Diego, Design Director at Gensler and a leading voice in the reimagining of THE MART.

“There were more experiences celebrating hyper-color than in years past, which we were excited to see as an antidote to the safe neutrals that have reigned for years. More importantly, they were expressed as immersive experiences full of energy – from our space at Turf, to the curated and poppy lounge for Scandinavian Spaces.” - Elizabeth Von Lehe, HDR Inc.

“NeoCon is an event that I look forward to every year. It is a time to celebrate our great industry that is ‘Design’. It is a time to see, touch, and feel environments and products are at the core of what we do as designers and makers, and those who support and promote that effort. I believe that this year it offered many cutting-edge events and speakers that promoted diversity, equity and inclusivity– arguably the future of design. And by collaborating with the IIDA, which is the primary voice and advocate of the interior design profession, NeoCon has clearly helped to promote awareness for our collective future.” - Jon Otis, Professor, Pratt Institute and Founder, Object Agency
